FHLBNY Files Form 10-K: A Solid and Consistent 2010
I am pleased to report that the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York filed its 2010 Form 10-K with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2011. The Home Loan Bank followed our record
results for 2009 with a solid and consistent performance throughout 2010. In the face of a
prolonged difficult operating environment, we have continued to provide a fair dividend
distributing more than $250 million in dividends to our member-lenders in 2010; build retained
earnings which grew to more than $700 million at year-end; and remain a reliable funding source
for our members, providing the liquidity our local member-lenders need to support families and
businesses in their communities.
The Home Loan Banks 2010 Form 10-K is available at the EDGAR portion of the SECs website at
www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
In February 2011, Advance Demand Averaged $74 Billion (at par)
In the month of February, our members demand for that reliable funding not surprisingly decreased.
As the economy slowly recovers, our members continue to experience essentially flat loan demand as
well as growth in their deposit bases. As a result, average advances contracted $1.8 billion
during February. However, contraction is not always bad. The ability to safely expand and
contract advances levels to meet member lending needs throughout various business cycles is a
hallmark of the Home Loan Banks, reflecting our ability to help member institutions of all sizes
use a variety of funding sources to provide financial services to their customers. And whether
Systemwide advances expand to $1 trillion, as they did at the height of the credit crisis in 2008,
or contract to $500 billion, the key is that advances remain available when our members need them.
This is how the System was designed to work.
Federal Home Loan Bank Systems 2010 Results
And the Federal Home Loan Bank System continues to work. At the Systemwide level, the Office of
Finance issued its preliminary unaudited 2010 combined operating highlights for the Home Loan Banks
on February 23. As you will see from the chart included below, the 2010 income for the System was
slightly more than $2 billion, and advances were at $479 billion. I am proud to note that the New
York Bank was the fourth-largest income earner at $276 million and held the third-largest level of
advances at $81.2 billion.

Key Home Loan Bank Personnel Changes
What we accomplish at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, we do with our people. Our continued
strength is a reflection of the hard work of the entire team at the Home Loan Bank, with all of us
working together to ensure that we continue to be a reliable source of funding for you, our
members, and the communities you serve.
I would like to take the time to report on recent personnel changes at the Bank. As announced in
December, Senior Vice President Peter Leung has been named the Banks Head of Asset Liability
Management (ALM), taking over for Craig Reynolds, who has retired. John Edelen, who had served
as the Banks director of ALM Risk Strategy and Development, now has the role of Chief Risk Officer
and Senior Vice President. Peter and John took on their new roles effective January 1, 2011.
Peter joined the New York Home Loan Bank in 2004, but he has been involved with the Federal Home
Loan Bank System since 1986. Peter received his B.A. in Chemistry from SUNY Buffalo, and his MBA
from the City University of Seattle, Washington. Peter has also attained a professional
certification as a Federal Thrift Regulator, as well as a CPA license.
John joined the Bank in 1997 as a Capital Markets analyst/trader and was promoted to Treasury
Operations Officer in 1998. In 2003, he was promoted to vice president. Prior to that, John
served in the U.S. Army for nine years where, as an Army Ranger and Paratrooper, he performed in
various positions of increasing responsibility, culminating as a unit commander in the
82nd Airborne Division. John earned his B.S. from the United States Military Academy at
West Point, and his M.B.A. from the Columbia Business School.
I have always taken great pride in the tremendous in-house talent we have built at the Bank.
Because of our deep talent pool, we were able to promote from within. It is because of this
veteran talent that we have been able to continue to perform strongly, even in the most difficult
operating environments.
Our current operating environment is one of change and opportunity. We are in a stage where
policymakers are looking to reform and reshape our financial system. And while we must make sure
that we are out there telling the positive story of community banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank
System, we must also make sure we are looking for the opportunities that the changes to the
economic landscape will bring. In this new landscape, I believe there will be tremendous
opportunities for community lenders. Our message is simple, and a proven one: community lenders
extend credit responsibly. We will continue to work closely with policymakers to let them know
that the community bank model works. I urge you to tell your story of responsible lending. After
all, we have a great story to tell and if we dont tell it, who will?
Sincerely,
Alfred A. DelliBovi
President
